Boost the flair of your holiday dinners with these easy festive winter mocktails that are a must-try on our list:

1. Spicy Hot Chocolate

When winter drinks are mentioned, you absolutely cannot miss out on a cup of spiced hot chocolate. On medium heat, combine two cups of milk, two tablespoons of cocoa powder, sugar, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Whisk this continuously until it steams. When you are done, serve this hot with chocolate shavings and whipped cream.

2. Ruby Delight

If during the winter you’re all about fruit juices, then this one’s for you. The drink is vibrant with a sweet, earthy tone. To prepare it, you need a cup of beetroot juice, half a cup of pomegranate juice with crushed mint leaves, and a tablespoon of lime juice. Shake this well with a handful of ice and serve cold. 

3. Hot Apple Ginger Sangria

We’ve had the original sangria before, and we love every bit of it. Here’s a warm twist on the revered, fun winter mocktails that you can easily whip up at home. For it, set a large pot on medium heat. Quickly add four cups of apple juice to a cup of cranberry juice. Next, gently add a few orange slices, apple slices with a cinnamon stick and cloves. Simmer this over low heat for ten minutes, allowing the flavours to meld well. Once done, let it cool completely. Transfer it to a glass tumbler with about two cups of ginger ale and serve with fresh cranberries.  

4. Cranberry Spice Mocktail

Experience the perfect blend of winter tart fruit juices like cranberries and oranges with warm spices to make your holiday gathering a cosy affair. Prepare this by combining two cups of cranberry juice with half a cup of orange juice, honey and warm spices. You may use cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, cloves and ground allspice. Let this simmer over low heat, allowing the spices to work their magic. Strain the spice out and serve warm with a slice of orange.
